No, OCI is a layer on top of an API call UPI (upi being the low level api used internally).

Pro*C precompiles into an API call SQLLIB which is a layer on top of UPI. Pro*c does *not* precompile into OCI calls...

Pro*C and OCI offer comparable speed, each has advantages/disadvantages over the other.
